Chapter 642 - 627: The Crisis Is Not Over!

When Shen Lang was devouring the final Golden Tribulation Thunder...

Aside from Xue Shiyin, who had the highest Cultivation, none of the other experts watching Shen Lang’s breakthrough to the King Martial Realm saw what happened clearly.

They only saw the Tribulation Thunder, which should have descended scattered, inexplicably converge into a single, terrifying Golden Tribulation Thunder.

After that Tribulation Thunder smashed down, it became entangled with the world-shaking vortex Shen Lang had created.

Then, it just inexplicably vanished!

The earth-shattering collision of Energy everyone had anticipated never occurred.

Even Emperor Martial Realm experts, faced with the ferocity of that Tribulation Thunder, were unable to use their Divine Thought to probe what was happening inside the vortex.

The Golden Tribulation Thunder, which possessed world-destroying Energy, had just suddenly disappeared...

Everyone was completely stunned.

Just then, a sound like a dragon’s cry suddenly emanated from Shen Lang, who was sitting cross-legged in the void!

The sound pierced the highest heavens, and the color of the sky and earth changed in response!

A hundred-zhang-tall humanoid figure of light emanated from Shen Lang’s body.

This phantom flickered with a five-colored Spirit Light. It looked identical to Shen Lang and was so majestic that people dared not look up at it.

An incomparably tyrannical pressure radiated outward once more, vast and mighty.

What was even more astonishing than the last time was...

After the pressure released by the phantom reached more than two hundred li away, it still showed no signs of stopping!

It was actually still extending outward!

It didn’t stop until it reached nearly three hundred and twenty li!

At that moment, countless Demon Beasts in the jungle within a three-hundred-li radius prostrated themselves in terror, forced to their knees as if Mt. Tai was crushing them, unable to move an inch!

At the same time, the chaotic Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above the Imperial Capital seemed to be drawn in, beginning to converge frantically toward the phantom!

The Thunder Tribulation had passed. The final step of breaking through to the King Martial Realm had finally arrived!

This final step held no risks. Instead, it was the immense benefit one could receive after passing the Thunder Tribulation and achieving the King Martial Realm!

After the Thunder Tribulation, although the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was chaotic, the Energy that dispersed into the air after the Tribulation Thunder was shattered was the purest and most boundless Heaven and Earth Energy.

Because the Tribulation Thunder was drawn by the Nascent Soul in the first place, it was extremely sensitive to it.

Although the Tribulation Thunder had been shattered and dispersed, this scattered Energy would still be attracted to the Nascent Soul, rushing toward it like moths to a flame.

And this unimaginably surging Energy had already lost its original destructive power. Not only would it not pose a threat to the Martial Artist who had passed the Thunder Tribulation, but it was also the best supplement!

At this moment, the enormous phantom spread its arms and did nothing, simply allowing the endless Primordial Qi between heaven and earth to continuously gather and be absorbed into its body.

As this Energy converged, the phantom became more and more solid, as if it would soon become a physical entity.

’He’s too strong, just too strong... Not only does his pressure cover an area of over three hundred li, but the amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi he’s absorbed in such a short time is more than ten times that of an ordinary Martial Artist advancing to the King Martial Realm!’

’It’s unbelievable! How can he be this powerful? It’s simply unimaginable!’

’Before, when I saw him thrashing the disciples of the Major Sects, I thought he was arrogant and conceited. Looking at him now, he was actually being merciful, not the least bit arrogant...’

’Indeed. A figure of such stunning talent... you probably couldn’t find a second one in the entire Western Wilderness! He’s too strong!’

’Just breaking through to the King Martial Realm caused a celestial phenomenon and drew the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation. This man’s future achievements... are limitless! We can only befriend him, never make him an enemy!’

The King Martial Realm experts from the Major Sects communicated through their Divine Thought, each one utterly shocked and horrified!

At this time, the massive phantom flickered slightly, then suddenly shrank and vanished into Shen Lang’s body, dispersing from sight.

"Amitabha. Congratulations, Senior Brother, on your successful breakthrough to the King Martial Realm!"

Figures flashed across the sky above the Imperial Capital as Chaos, Shark’s Kiss, and several other Emperor Martial Realm experts all flew over.

Shen Lang’s eyelashes twitched, and at that moment, he opened his eyes.

It would have been one thing if he hadn’t opened his eyes, but when he did, everyone was taken aback.

In their impression, Shen Lang’s eyes were as bright as stars and incomparably deep.

But now, when they looked at his eyes, they saw only exhaustion. They were dim and lackluster!

The problem was, in that short period, Shen Lang had just absorbed an unimaginable amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi!

"This... How could this be?" Xue Shiyin asked, her heart sinking in shock.

Veins bulged on Shen Lang’s forehead. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "That last Golden Tribulation Thunder hasn’t been dealt with yet. Please, everyone, lend me a hand!"

The moment he said this, Tantai Jingming and the others were scared into Soul Scattering!

That Golden Tribulation Thunder with its destructive aura... it really hasn’t disappeared?

Doesn’t this mean the danger isn’t over yet, and the Golden Tribulation Thunder could still explode?

If such a Tribulation Thunder were to detonate, not only would the entire Imperial Capital be razed to the ground, but even the few Emperor Martial Realm experts might not be able to escape unscathed!

Chaos and the others were a bit better, but Tantai Jingming almost turned and fled... After all, his relationship with Shen Lang wasn’t so good that he was willing to live and die with him.

To put it bluntly, he hadn’t even gotten any benefits from Shen Lang yet!

He was willing to do Shen Lang a favor, to give him some face.

But to accompany Shen Lang in taking such a huge risk was asking too much.

However, a cold glance from Xue Shiyin at his side made the Royal Family’s Elder Ancestor shudder, and he didn’t dare make a rash move.

"How can we help you?" Xue Shiyin’s voice trembled slightly.

With her Cultivation, she wasn’t afraid of this Golden Tribulation Thunder.

But if such a Tribulation Thunder were to explode inside Shen Lang’s body, she had no confidence she could protect him.

If something happened to Shen Lang...

Xue Shiyin shook her head, as if trying to force the thought from her mind.

At this time, Shen Lang gritted his teeth and said with great difficulty, "Chaos, you’re responsible for moving us to the Biluo Mountain Range five hundred li away. Everyone else, pour your Spiritual Power into me—the more, the better!"

"I’ll go first!" Without a second word, Xue Shiyin pressed her palms against Shen Lang’s back.

The vast, ocean-like Spiritual Power of a Quasi-Emperor Martial Realm expert poured into Shen Lang like a Tsunami.

"Alright!"

Chaos agreed, pulling his clasped hands apart.

A ring of Buddha Light enveloped everyone and shot toward the Biluo Mountain Range five hundred li away at an unimaginable speed!

Shen Lang’s situation was indeed extremely critical.

Inside the Tai Chi Diagram, the tender sprout had suddenly emerged at the critical moment, completely enveloping the Golden Tribulation Thunder before dragging it into the Tai Chi Diagram.

This wasn’t the end, but the beginning!

To deal with the Golden Tribulation Thunder, the sprout had already drained all the Energy within the Tai Chi Diagram in a short time!

Only after draining all the Energy in the Tai Chi Diagram did the sprout grow into a two-chi-long sapling. Only then was it finally able to manifest a form of the Tai Chi Diagram to seize the Golden Tribulation Thunder.

Inside the Tai Chi Diagram, the Energy was now completely depleted. The dozens of Tribulation Thunders that had been absorbed earlier, now freed from their internal Locking Chains, began to rampage even more frantically, their roars echoing endlessly.

And the moment the Golden Tribulation Thunder entered the Tai Chi Diagram, it acted like a magnet, immediately attracting the dozens of Purple Tribulation Thunders to rush toward it!

The small tree transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall great tree, its countless branches stretching out to individually wrap around the Golden Tribulation Thunder and the dozens of Purple Tribulation Thunders, separating them.

At this moment, it was as if the colossal tree had borne dozens of Fruits. It shook violently, as though being battered by a storm!

However, the power of the Golden Tribulation Thunder was simply too heaven-defying. The colossal tree was faintly showing signs of losing control!

At this critical juncture, Shen Lang poured every last bit of the Energy his Nascent Soul had absorbed while outside his body back into the Tai Chi Diagram!

Floating inside the Tai Chi Diagram, Shen Lang frowned as he watched the torrent of Energy pouring in get absorbed by the colossal tree.

How tyrannical was the Cultivation of Xue Shiyin, a Quasi-Emperor Martial Realm expert?

Even with her pouring in her Spiritual Power so recklessly, Shen Lang still felt it was like using a cup of water to put out a burning cart—woefully inadequate.

’Before it fully formed, I used the Demon Blade Technique to disperse a lot of its Energy. I thought the Tai Chi Diagram would be strong enough to devour it...’

’I never expected this Golden Tribulation Thunder to be this powerful, like an Ancient Fierce Beast. Even this little tree is struggling to control it completely!’

’The Energy inside the Tai Chi Diagram is depleted. If I don’t replenish it quickly, I’m afraid the little tree won’t last much longer... If this Golden Tribulation Thunder breaks free, it’s hard to say whether the space inside the Tai Chi Diagram will be blown apart by it!’

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Lang’s mind.

But in this situation, aside from continuously absorbing Energy to supplement the little tree, there really was no better solution.

If Xue Shiyin hadn’t been here this time, I’m afraid...

Shen Lang gave a bitter smile and turned his gaze to the five Nascent Souls floating in the void.

The power of those Nascent Souls was too immense, so Shen Lang had kept them locked here, planning to wait until the Tai Chi Diagram grew stronger before he attempted their Refinement and decomposition, just like he had decomposed and restructured the Elements Mansion.

’I can’t worry about that anymore. Time to devour them...’

Shen Lang left Helian Qiushui’s Nascent Soul and, with a wave of his hand, sent the other four to the colossal tree.

The colossal tree quivered slightly, seeming to let out a cheer.

Immediately, dozens of branches with lush, vibrant leaves stretched out, instantly enveloping all four Nascent Souls.

In the blink of an eye, the four Nascent Souls were transformed into incomparably pure Energy and absorbed by the colossal tree!

With the support of the Energy from these four Nascent Souls and Xue Shiyin’s Spiritual Power, the colossal tree grew explosively once more. A large batch of new branches appeared, tightly winding around the Golden Tribulation Thunder.

Although the Tribulation Thunder’s power was tyrannical, carrying world-ending might...

...it was entangled by these branches and found it impossible to break free, no matter how it struggled!

In this world, Shen Lang was the Dominator, and the little tree was like the core of the entire space, its very hub!

Even Shen Lang himself had yet to fully understand this thing’s power and function!

’I can’t let all this effort go to waste! Hold on!’

Watching that Tribulation Thunder ramming about frantically, trying to break free from its bonds, while the colossal tree shook violently, Shen Lang roared in his heart!
